If that’s not the sound of a dunk in P3 it must be Aaron showing up laate to praactice because he went to the raave in CC. Safe to say this kid doesn’t get an AA for punctuality.
This is one of the single greatest Gil Thorp strips ever!
P1, Let’s see, we’ve got the kid shooting with his forearm, The Man Who Wears The Star with the deformed left hand and Mike, attempting to give birth to a medicine ball.
P2, Are you saying he sucks so bad when he’s here he only stands out when he’s gone?
P3, Here comes my man from Monday, Quadruple A fresh from the rave. Time for him to start standing out on the court. It’ll be a sacred miracle indeed if Gil can get this bunch of misfits to the playdowns. I sure hope Heather knows basketball, too.
I hope AQuad has a Mohawk ( an improvement on the Milford Monk), a nose ring and a sleeve of tats. And is carrying a Colt .45 tall boy from the rave. We need something to force Gil to put down the mug and coach ‘em up! Of course he’ll be 6’9" and can shoot the 3, so he and Kaz will become drinking buddies with Moon.
@ The Brown Starfish excellent start. P-1: The kid shooting free throws with his forearm also has the breasts of a fifty year old woman. P-2: He better Hustle? That dance won’t be a thing in Milford for another 20-25 years. P-3: a prophecy as the strip begins – Milford could get slammed this season. Wow, maturity and responsibility as a theme for current teenage issues. R&W are going cutting edge.

I love exclamation shirt kid. It would be awesome if his shirt always reflected his mood. The door slam startled him, so his shirt shows “!”. He makes a lot of turnovers and it shows “:(”. Gil blathers on and on for an hour and the shirt shows “Z-Z-Z-Z” And speaking of boring things, today’s Mopped Up Thorp might cure you of any boredom.
Hmm, maybe someone will ask Aaron why he has so many double a’s in his name, and someone else will say, “Shhh! He hates when you ask about the origin of his name!” Is there a literary character with a double-double a name?
Aaron is a Danish Center known for his weird footwear and “clogging” up the middle. The girls admire is mouth and are often found commenting on his two-lips.
Okay the dude with the star on his shirt obviously is disillusioned with men’s basketball and he wants to go play on the women’s soccer team. Not sure where i got that idea though.

What position do you think AaGARD plays? He may have gone unnoticed, but unfortunately was at the top of the tryout list.

I guess practice uniforms haven’t arrived in Milford yet. I do like the shirt with the large exclamation point on it, though.

Marty Moon is not going to like anyone who has both names starting with AA. Not that he attends the meetings any more.

Aaron is pretty good, but he’s got a younger brother, Moses, who’s going to be a real star.
